went to the drag strip last night******

[revelation2k]

analize my best run..... i coudnt break into the 14's

2.28 60 ft
12.6
15.02 1/4
93.98mph

i have AEM CAI and TRM exhuast , with stock tires

[ArchangelX]

Hmm...easy..heh.

Your 60ft is kinda high..drop that down to a 2.1 and you'd have hit 14's.

It took me awhile to learn how to launch to hit that 2.1 number. Just take your car out to an abandoned parking lot..and practice your launches.

I did that every weekend for like 3 months..lol. In fact..anytime I went anywhere..I'd pull down into this long ass dead end..and do a quick launch..to keep my skillz up.

YO..word up!

[vvtlikick]

I'm surprised you couldn't get into the 14s, cause I got a 14.9 with a weaker launch AND a weaker trap speed.

From those numbers, I'd guess you shifted into second slowly or shifted too low on the tach, cause my 1/8mi on the 14.9 was a 12.5.

Could be wrong but seems like we've seen a ton of 14s with 60 ft. times slower than Revelations?

man it has nothing to do with his 60ft time.. a 2.28 is great for this car.. 2.1 is near impossible.. you didnt post your 330.. thats what I need to know... odds re you arent running it to 8300 or shifting to slow..

elevation and weather of track?

Hmmm I dont know what you are doing wrong, your trap speed seems like you should be running high 14s. Im gonna say its either 2->3, or 3->4 shift. your 60 foot is not bad that bad. Maybe beef up on your 1000 ft time. hmm.. also might want to try shifting faster. Hope that helps.

You shift slow.

[billybrun]

They pretty much got everything covered. Your launch was good but after that... You need to find out what you're doing wrong.

yea i go to the tracj every now and then, mostly on friday night street legals

damn dude with a 9.7 you should have definitely atleast hit a 14.8 or 14.9.. you musta really slowed down up top.. did you hit the limiter or take your time shifting into 3rd or something?

[revelation2k]

even though i didnt hit 14's with ur replies i feel good about my times knowing i'm very capable of hitting 14's.... i'll practice more and get everything perfect next time

[celicuzrule]

well its probably because we live in this warm weather, its been in the 70's

actually even with 70s those times should be 14s..

This is my thought too. Are you scared of misshifting?

I ran a 14.4 with a 2.21 60' time. My 1/8 mile time on that run was 9.3. Your 60' time is fine. It's after the 60' that you need to work on. Did you stay above 6k on the 1-2 shift?

No, it should be on page 2 or 3 if someone would have left it there :rolleyes:

[iwantaferrari]

[ArchangelX]

Kinda like a spirit trapped in a house, but someone has to find out what happened to it so it can be free..

That's my guess. I've run a 14.586 with a 2.31 60-foot time.
